An overhaul of the coaching staff is on the cards after the Indian contingent's lacklustre outing in the ongoing Tokyo Olympics, said National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) President Raninder Singh Sodhi.
"Yes, definitely the performances have not been on expected lines and I have spoken of an overhaul of the coaching staff as I feel something is lacking in getting our shooters prepared for these big occasions because clearly the talent is there and we have seen it here as well," Raninder told reporters.
"Let's continue to back the team and I am sure we'll get results. Postmortems can wait till after the Games," he added.
